Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required beyond removing the brushes from their packaging. Ensure the brushes are dry before use.
Compatibility: This set is ideal for all water-based paints, including:
- Emulsions (matt, silk, eggshell)
- Gloss
- Satin
- Undercoats and primers
- Woodstains
- Varnishes
It is not specifically recommended for heavy-duty oil-based paints, where traditional bristle brushes might offer different performance characteristics.
Care: To ensure longevity and optimal performance:
- Immediately after use: Rinse the brush thoroughly under warm running water.
- Clean: Gently work a mild soap or brush cleaner into the filaments to remove all paint residue.
- Rinse again: Ensure all soap and paint are completely washed away.
- Remove excess water: Gently squeeze water from the brush heads.
- Reshape: Carefully reshape the brush head to its original form.
- Dry: Store the brushes upright or hanging, allowing them to air dry completely. Avoid storing them flat, which can deform the bristles.
